The United Nations is seeking a consultant to develop a framework to support youth employment using biomimetic design. The framework aims to (1) support vulnerable youth in entering and staying in the job market, (2) assess graduate unemployment and labor needs, and (3) promote entrepreneurship among vulnerable youth. The design process will draw inspiration from white-fronted bee-eaters, which sacrifice individual needs for the group. A web portal will allow stakeholders to contribute to local job creation based on community needs, similar to how bee-eaters support relatives. The goal is a system adapting to diverse situations while respecting youth rights and creativity.
The document outlines a design brief from the United Nations for a biomimetic design project to support youth employment and career development. The goals are to establish a context-adaptive framework at a national level in the United States through local implementation. This would prepare, integrate, and retain vulnerable youth in the labor market while also assessing graduate unemployment and national labor needs. Biomimetic design methodologies would be used to develop solutions that respect diversity, hear youth voices, and nurture entrepreneurship. The project would complete within a year and adhere to international labor organization guidelines.

Employers’ Perspectives on the Basic Knowledge and Applied
Skills of New Entrants to the 21st Century U.S. Workforce
In collaboration, The Conference Board, Corporate Voices for Working Families, the
Partnership for 21st Century Skills, and the Society for Human Resource Management
conducted an in-depth study of the corporate perspective on the readiness of new
entrants into the U.S. workforce by level of educational attainment. The study includes
results from both an in-depth survey conducted during April and May 2006 and
interviews with a sampling of a dozen HR and other senior executives. In addition,
a Workforce Readiness Report Card is presented to provide an accessible snapshot
of the basic knowledge and applied skills that are either “deficient” or “excellent”
in those areas that employer respondents rate as “very important.”
This research defines Workforce Readiness by asking employer respondents:
1. Whether or not the skill levels that new entrants are currently bringing to their
jobs are deemed “excellent,” “adequate,” or “deficient,”
2. What basic knowledge and applied skills they consider “very important,”
“important,” or “not important.” Basic knowledge refers to the academic subjects
and skills acquired in school. Applied skills refer to those that enable new entrants
to use what they learned in school to perform in the workplace. (See Definition of
Terms, pages 15–16.)
3. How the importance of these skills may change over the next five years,
4. What emerging content areas are considered “most critical” over the next
five years, and
5. What are the nature and costs of remedial training or initiatives, if basic skills
are lacking.
The data are typically presented throughout the report separately for high school,
two-year college/technical school, and four-year college levels.

In this introductory webinar, representatives from the Center for Social Inclusion discussed the current context of race leading to a deeper analysis of structural racism. They argued that the intent to discriminate is mostly irrelevant because institutions are inherently inequitable, and even well-intentioned policies may discriminate on race (even though that was not their original intention). When we don’t pay attention to race in our policymaking and in our grant funding, we continue to see disparities. The speakers gave examples of how racial and equitable US policies are important for all Americans and then gave some tools funders could use to identify structural problems. Representatives of The Hyams Foundation then shared key points in their journey in applying a structural race analysis to a key programmatic area, as an initial step to infusing racial justice throughout the Foundation's work. The webinar concluded with a Q&A with the participants.
